Kosumalli

Kosumalli is a fresh salad served in South Indian marriages and also made at home on auspicious occasions. The preparation takes just under 5 minutes and also makes for a healthy snack at home. The traditional recipe does not include peanuts, but I quite like the crunchiness and the flavour of the peanuts. I made this recipe a long time back, blogged it without its visuals. This time around, you can see the difference!
